The True Story of Cinderella.

There is no fairy tale that is better
known or more loved by young readers
than the story of the poor little cinder.
wench, who was so i'll treated by her
cruel sisters, had such delightful
god-mother, with magic wand, and
was so lucky as to lose her pretty glass
slipper only to gain Prince, and be-
come Princess thereby.
Looking over an old book. we came
upon an anecdote that is said to have
been the origin of this favorite tale.
Cinderellas real name, it seems, was
Rhodope; and she was beautiful
Egyptian maiden, who lived six hum
dred and seventy years before the birth
of Christ and during the reign Of
Psammeticus, one of the twelve
Kings of Egypt. One day Rhodope
ventured to, go in bathing in a
clear stream near her home and
meanwhile left her shoes, which must
have been unusually small, lying on
the bank. An eagle, passing above,
Glanced to catch sight Of the little sam
dals, and mistaking them for q tooth
some tid-bit, bounced down and ear
ried off one in his beak.
The bird then unwittingly played
the part of fairy god-mother. for, fly
ing DIRECTLY over Memphis, where King
Psammeticuss was dispensing JUS
tice, it let the shoe fall right into the
Kings lap. Its size, beauty and dain
tiness Immediately attracted the royal
eye, and the King. determined upon
kn0uiup fho xvoaror of an cYYuuiuu q
shoe, sent throughout all his entire
kingdom in search of the foot that
would fit it AS in the story of Gin
derella, the messengers finally discov-
cred Rhodope; fitted on the shoe and
carried her in, triumph to Memphis,
where she became the Queen of King
Psammetichus, and the foundation of
the fairy tale that was to delight boys
and girls twenty-four hundred years
later. -.6nsericun Agriculturist.

A PALPABLE SWJNDLE.

German Citizens Being Swindled by q Boz
gus Lottery Scheme Purporting to Have
the Ofhcial Sanction OF the German
Government.
One of the most impudent and bare-faced
lottery schemes ever devised is now be-
ing operated throughout the United
States. This swindle is mainly designed
for victimizing the German-speak1ngc con-
tingent in the large cities, and has al
ready achieved tolerable measure OF
success. The modus operandi is quite
simple, as will be seen by the following
account:
& Co., Bankers, Hamburg, Germany"
through an agent in Baltimore, Md, has
flooded the country with letters addressed
to German residents of all large cities.
These letters contain double-sheet cir
cular, twelve inches by eight, printed In
German and English. This circular gives
q glowing description of the 1.-TWO Hun
dred and Ninety-second German Govern
ment Lottery of the City of mburg."
1t outlines the scheme of the lottery, the
prizes ranging in the different series
from $4,000 to 100000 marks.
They announce that on each ticket,
to insure genuineness, will be printed the
Government coat of arms. Enclosure No.
2 is small obiong slip, printed as fol-
lows: ssThe amount may by RENTED by
means of an American Express Company's
money order, which must be made pay
able at Hamburg, Germany, by the COM
pany's agent residing at your place of
living. You will please send the order in
a registered letter." After making the
American Express Company their accred-
tied agents in a number of large cities
they forward Enclosure No. 8, which is an
envelope with their Hamburg address.
Baron Won Nordenfycht, the German
Consul, who was seen regarding the mat
ter, said: seThis is one Of the most
palpable swindles have ever had brought
to my notice. There is no such lottery al
the German Government Lottery To
speak more forcibly, the government Of
the German Empire has no connection or
control Of any lottery or premium enter
prise whatever. This is not only fraud.
but an insult to the government repre-
sent. presume the express company
will stop the issuing of money ordert
when the swindle is exposed, but will
also send them an official notification II

Visiting His Sons.

CHICAGO, April 21.-Hon James G..
Blaine, Mrs. Blaine, Miss Hattie Blaine
and Miss Dodge (Gail Hamilton) reached
Chicago early yesterday morning from

Hotel. Mr.. Blaine remained indoors
nearly all day, receiving visitors. He is
apparently in the best condition physic-
ally, and regards himself as a we'll man.
His ride from Fort Gibson to this city
he has thoroughly enjoyed. In speaking
of his Journey from Fort Gibson to Gibson
station in the Indian Territory he said;
awe rode in an army ambulance. drawn
by four mules, and enjoyed the ride very
much. The Indian Territory is a grand
and beautiful country, and it is now seen
at it's best, the foliage being out"
Mr.. Blaine said he had worked too hard
before leaving h ome-harder than he had
intended to. my publishers" he said,
ssmade me promise to compile my
speeches. I consented to do this with
out approaching the work which COM
pilation would involve. I could have
written two books, I think, with less APP
LEGATION than was required to edit and ar
range seriatim my speeches. They were
made, many of them, in lengthy debates,
in which there were frequent Interrupt
tons, and to place them in proper shape
for publication was exacting in the ex-
treme."
When asked if he cared to say any
thing on the political situation, Mr.. Blaine
smiled and raised his hand deprecatingly,
remarking: 81 am here to visit my sons"
Mr. Blaine is expected to remain here
several days. He has been invited to at
tend the regular quarterly banquet OF the

tentions will also be extended to him.

Lieutenanf Danenho,oer.

Lieutenant Eisenhower arrived at
the Academy at fifteen minutes past ten
O'Clock yesterday morning from Norfolk,
whittier he had been with the United
States steamship Constellation, which
was to go on the docks. He had been
complaining of sleeplessness and mental
worry since last Tuesday, which was in
tensified by the Constellation getting
aground while going into Norfolk harbor.
Surgeon Biddle, who had been attend
ing the Lieutenant, called to see Danen-
hover this morning about half-past nine
o'clock, and was Mortified to find him
lying dead upon the door, with a bullet
hole through his head and 32-caliber
Smith & Wesson revolver lying by his
side with an>chamber empty.
Lieutenant Eisenhower arose at six
The shooting must have occurred shortly
afterward. He leaves widow and two
children, who are absent on visit. He
was of an extremely sensitive nature, and
lately the slightest thing has worried
him.
WASHINGTON, April Ca telegram re-
ceived at the Navy Department from Com
modore Sampson, commanding the An
napolis Naval Academy, in which the sui
eide of Lieutenant Eisenhower is an
nounced, also states that Danenhower
was undoubtedly insane. Deceased was
thirty-seven years of age, and en- tered the
naval service in 1866 from Illinois, in
which State he was born. The Lieutenant
was on duty on board the United States
steamer Vandalia when that vessel con-
veyed General Grant to Egypt, and
in this way made the &C
quaintance and gained the high
estesm and admiration Of the General
So favorably was General Grant i'm
pressed, that when James Gordon Ben
nett proposed the Jeanette Arctic expe-
dition, General Grant strongly urged
Lieutenant Danenhower as fearless and
capable officer for such service. Lieu
tenant Danenhower volunteered, and
was appointed as navigating officer Of
that expedition, sailing in 1879, and pass
ing with credit through the terrible hard
ships of that voyage and the loss of the
Jeanette.
Naval officers have conceded to Danen-
hover the credit for saving his party on
his return in 1882, with Melville as the
only other surviving officer. Lieutenant
Danenhower was an acute sufferer from
eye trouble, the result Of Arctic priva.
tons, exposure, etc. When sufficiently
recovered, Eisenhower was detailed to
the Naval Academy at Annapolis as in
structor, and subsequently as assis tant
commandant, in which position he has
been very popular with the cadets.

LAZY TOM.

His Mother Cured Him by Taking Him
at His Word and Letting ssSomebody
Else Do It."
Tom did not like to work. What to
do with him was hard question for
his father and mother to solve.
He was generally known as "Lazy
Tom" and surely the name was a just
one, for Tom would not work if he
could possibly help it.
One day his father asked him to hoe
some corn, as it was necessary for him
to go to the village.
AS soon as Tom saw his father was
fully out of sight. he dropped his hoe
and speedily sought refuge from the
hot sun in the shade of neighboring
tree, and soon feel asleep. The hours
passed quickly, and Tom did not
wake His mother went to call him to
dinner, hoping to see him busy at work
TOM she called, but then she
spied him under the tree.
''Thomas!"
"Wh-at?"
''Come, Tom, I want you to come
and

he whined. half awake.
yes,n his mother replied, as she
turned and hurried back to the house,
leaving Tom very much amazed, think
ing his mother in an extremely good
humor to-day. But presently he was
fast asleep again
The dinner table was cleared away,
and the afternoon was passing, when
Tom awoke from his dream Gin which
he had lived in land where no one
had to work) to find he was on this
same world, very hungry.
He quickly made his way to the
house. but found no dinner waiting for
him. On making inquiry he learned
that some one else had eaten it for
him, as his mother said: "You asked if
somebody else could not do it for YOU y
At supper he was not called. and as
he came in his father told him: ''You
are not needed tonight, as we have
decided to do your work for YOU"
Next morning he was ready for
breakfast, with his work done before
any one else; and never again was he
heard to say: Cant somebody else do
itp" This was the way Tom was cured.
